TApplication.Terminated Property

Reports whether the application is in the process of shutting down.

Pascal

property Terminated: Boolean;

C++

__property Boolean Terminated;

Description

Terminated is used when calling the ProcessMessages method so that the application doesn't perform unnecessary actions after the shut-down process has been triggered. ProcessMessages sets Terminated to true when it receives a WM_QUIT message.

An application usually receives a WM_QUIT message because the main window of the application has closed, or because the Terminate method has been called.

Note: For applications using calculation-intensive loops, call ProcessMessages periodically, and also check Terminated to determine whether to abort the calculation and allow the application to terminate.
